Mistake

A pretty simple subject line above. Mistake or should i use mistakes? Always there are mistakes occurs from me. I hate myself why being so careless. I coud spent 2 days to look for a solid solution whereby the solution is actually there waiting for my click! Setting up a Tomcat application server to work with IIS web server is no doubt a good experience and knowledge. I put my yahoo status of "IIS6 + Tomcat5", lot of people also wonder how it being done. Those questions concluded that still a lot a lot people, regardless a Microsoft user or a Java user, still dont know this trick. I am glad that i can step out from that boundary. Yes, in fact Tomcat can work with IIS well with a ISAPI connector/filter for them to "communicate". Perhaps i have time to share a HOWTO in this blog (Although not much people knowing this blog :P ). Handling client like K really frustrating sometimes but it brings me a lot of experiences, which is a lot more than a programmer could have. Not only in programming, you will learn handling client, SSL, Tomcat + IIS, Proxy issues, and some unexpected occurances. Anyhow, wish to get a break recently, but i am sure there are still a lot queueing up waiting for me. Sigh~

Recently get attacked from flu, thank you Angel for the greeting card again! Hmm.. unquestionably, she is a good designer and have a imagination brain. :P Roy is going away to Korea next Wednesday, sigh, hopefully i could have a peaceful working week!

Tiring Tuesday

After a relaxing weekend to Zhang Dong Liang mini concert at Genting (will upload the photo soon), i have a hectic working day! Do you believe i just got home half an hour ago? Probably nope because at this time, usually a human should be in dream already. Why i so "meang fu"??!! The Maxis server having problem on remote access service and therefore, went to NTT Cyberjaya tonight with my colleague to settle it. Spent about 4 hours there, in fact it can be just 30 minutes work but in order to gain experience by solving the problem instead of killing the problem, we sacrified the time to exchange with solution. Well finally at least we able to find out the problems, the factors and also the computer who cause this problem. Gonna kill he/she tomorrow knowing the IP address is belongs to whom! Grrrrrrr!!!!!!

Last Saturday went to Genting for Zhang Dong Liang mini concert. It was a good concert to attend, in fact i am impressed by the concert organizer. I believe the organizer have a good knowledge in psycological field, the organizer reserved the 2 most famous and well known songs until the end of the concert. It able to reach everyone heart to pull up the high feeling, lot of people stand up to sing and dance. That is cool!!! i wish i could share out the short video i have recorded during the last part of the concert. That night, Genting have an extremely cool weather, what a nice and relaxing night if i could stay overnight there but i couldnt make myself available for that. So came down from the hill that night with an imperfect enjoyment feeling....

Believe my hair should get dry now, time to sleep. Catch u all up in dream! Oppss, also thank you THL for the sms and email greeting but your email has no attachment lar, can check out?! :P Getting forgetful liao lor~

Uuhhuu, Friday Night!

Yeah, so fast again another Friday night. Well, these 2 days feel that time passed by just a second! Maybe i was too busy, i mean extremely busy. Roy went to China on Thursday and he left a list of must-do tasks for me. Therefore, i must schedule and arrange the time correctly to fit all these task into my working hours. Started to understand why always Roy said his real programming time is begin at 6pm. Day time spent on client handling, gateway trouble shooting, e-mailing, etc....etc.... Regard to this reason, i stay back until 9pm these days in order to finish my programming task. Of course, it is tough to go through but also it is a good chance to evaluate or to judge how durable my "brain engine" is for the mentioned working environment.

Registered "handimail", it is a service where forward the unread email to your handphone. Developed by a group of young IT people in Malaysia. Well, pretty good idea just like the "Push E-mail" i mentioned in previous post. Current handimail just cater for Email2SMS, perhaps sooner E-mail2MMS would launch too. I believe my current company does not have Free Time cater for this service although we have the technology and equipments. Self-research? Group discussion? Haha... i believe i have think too much dy! :P

Push E-mail

This post gonna be Technical Blog. Well, would like to share about "Push E-mail" (PE). I believe Malaysian, especially student group is still unaware of this term. Actually what it is about? Blackberry is an award wining wireless platform and is a property under Reaseach In Motion Ltd (RIM). With Blackberry PE, human on the move can obtain their e-mail "push" to them automatically without having processes like login authentication, select e-mail(s) to be forwarded, define destination address, click event occurs and so for. This innovative solution is brought to us by RIM, the wireless solution provider and of course, a Malaysia operator (Maxis Communications Bhd) is involved to provide the telecommunication infrastructures. Blackberry wireless platform built a good start in USA and able to signed up more than 1.6 millions subscribers. The unique feature of automatically send e-mail to handheld device convenienced lot of mobile users interm of its flexibility, hassle-free convenience and affordable charges, without going through a list of troublesome steps. But how is the Malaysia mobile market reflect to this wireless solution? Perhaps it gives a optimistic result in order to attract any other new technologies to spread in Malaysia too! By the way, I am expecting for a demo if there is any! (^_^)

Half Day Off

Not feeling well today, therefore given a full day off by Roy but i refused that by taking half day instead. Suffering from flu, my nose keep asking help~ Get use of getting up early, feel so "empty" (free) now, therefore take this moment to keep a blog here. Met Chai Ling online, such a long time didnt meet her online and the funniest is answer of "Why you didnt online recently?" i got from her. :P :D When can this budak grows up??? LOL...

Blogging Activity

Hmm.. blogging activity seems started to get common around my circle of friends.. It is good to see this because, at least they are aware of this activity compare to those still wonder what is blogging. I started to blog after i read through a few interesting blogs in HongKong country, they has been started few years ago. I found that it is interesting and good place to share what you have in your mind and etc. A guy that always keep quiet with his own feeling like me should grab this way to "write" out the feeling. Today, another new blog of my friend has introduced to me. When people ask whether i got a blog or not.. hmm.. that is a confusing question to answer. Firstly, the initial purpose of mine is to express my PRIVATE mood here and didnt meant for public. (Exception: HueyLing, Catherine, and Roland i believe) With this reason, i replied them "No, i dont have one"! Maybe i ain't ready to public yet, Sorry to those bloggers/friends, i dont mean to tell lies! Yes, when i get myself ready, you will see your blog's link here and being notified! :)

Lazy Monday

I have a lazy Monday. Wishing the time pass as fast as possible to reach 6pm so i can switch off the pc and go back :P But the more you expecting, the slower the time passes... poor Stephen. Today tested the MP3 function on 7610, not really nice. Maybe it is not feature to Multimedia effect, speaker is not that clear playing the song. Sekali you wish to listen MP3 at outdoor, DONT! That is my advise... coz you will feel disappointment on it.

Tomorrow is quite special because will be going to work at 3pm. So can be pig a bit longer in morning time... But need to work until the late of night, rushing for the migration project. Hopefully tomorrow night wont be a boring night for me to stay in the office~

New Mobile Phone!

Every Sunday night will be my busiest night in a week. I have my favourite TV programmes on show, first... Phua Chu Kang at 9:00pm follows by Smallville at 9:30pm and end with The Apprentice at 10:30pm. Hehe, within these 2 and the half hours, i will engaged with my TV :D

Okay, back to today's topic! I have my new mobile phone, Nokia 7610! Yeah~ but this is not my initial choice which was Samsung D410c. After the comparison has been made between both phones in term of functionality and worthy. This gonna be my first color display phone, well i am totally blur about the features and controls of this new phone because too many features are there compare to what i have previously, the Nokia 8310. Think i gonna spend my coming 3 nights for the features handling lesson given by the User Guide :P I bought this phone at Mid Valley, though i have made several surveys about this phone before today at Sunway Pyramid and i was thinking to buy at SenQ. The decision turns out when initially i go Mid Valley for my belt only. Was confused for few hours on the attractive price and service provided by various phone shop. But unfortunitely among two, i have only a space to fit one of them in. Guess what i choose, the Price or the Service :P Keep the guess result for you....

I wish i could give some nice shots for my new phone but i failed. Maybe i am just too excited to know "her" better. Here is the picture with my lousy shot :P dont laugh at me btw!





Hey, i got a best picture illustrating my phone exactly, the color as well! I think i am not professional enough to market a product in picture capturing or designing, i guess :P Here is what i got online :D Pretty nice right?




Basically this phone has Built-in Camera (with 1 Mega Pixel), MP3, J2ME, Movie recording (10 minutes), WAP 2.0, xHTML/HTML browser (i saw Opera browser is pre-installed), Bluetooth, internal memory (8MB), Symbian OS 7.0s supports, and the most importantly, it has a MMC card slot and 64MB RSMMC along. This is COOL~ and it is really COOL compare to others phone that available in the market now! (Not Ericsson P900/910, not any smart phone is included in the comparison)! I believe i am gonna LOVE it very much! :D \(^_^)/

Genting Highlands Memory III

The Great + Excited + Cheerful + Funny hours in Genting Theme Park! Well, first thing to mention is, if we admitted to be the second louder voice from a group, i believe there is no one else! Everywhere we go, we queue, we play, you will hear our voice! Wow~ this is terrible, luckily there is no such a rule where police officer giving out VOICE POLLUTION saman to public :P This is a good memory for me because there are few games where i dont dare to try each time i go Genting Theme Park. Especially Space Shot, for those who stand below that space shot tower and watch people play that, what is your feeling? Some might have excited feeling, but some will have scarry feeling as for me. Firstly to challenge my fear feeling was the Roller Coaster. Invited my friend to be my partner (sit beside me), shit~ he chosen the first place. Oh my god, this is terrible. I just cant explain my feeling at that moment, feels like shit.. wonder can i quit from that? But i told myself, i am gonna defeat this fear! At last i pass through that trip by putting my hands up without holding any holder~! As for me, one simple word, unbelievable~! Continuous with Space Shot, i believe that is the most challenging game i have never face! You can see how nervous i am before and after in the photo! When i am on top of the space shot tower, i feel that i am inside the cloud.. and in a few seconds, heart drop from the top to the ground in sudden! Feel cool and shiok~! Sooooo happy that i could overcross the fear feeling. Since i can and why not you??!!




Expecting for a second cool trip like this... (^_^)

Genting Highlands Memory

Wow, a good trip from Genting Highlands. Although the time is short but all of us are enjoy with it. Feel so sorry because initially plan to depart at 10am but at last went out about 1pm. :P Everyone were there to wait me finish the KAT launching. It takes about 3 hours to reach Genting Awana, slow right?!! Hehe, we are so funny, take a wrong and long way :P End up with arriving our destination at 5pm :P




First day, check in and then quickly make a move to up hill for dinner. Hehe, we take our first game (Euro Express) at first world in door. Yeah, so excited but unfortunately we couldnt continue the rest of the in door games coz time almost reach for dinner. Spend the time walking outdoor since the weather soooooo cold and nice for a photo taking session~ Yeah! After dinner, move on to our second plan, which is at Games Centre. Never thought that girls like Motorcycle Racing sooooo much, until challenge me. Haha.. at last of course i am the winner lar :P Got picture to show off too :P In a short period of time, we spent all our token liao. So.. have to proceed with those event that wont include money one lor, taking picture at the car park opposite Genting Hotel. Hehe.. another funny session. Maybe i have get bored of "normal" photo therefore force them to act something differently :P Kind of demanding directo. haha... but at least it is funny when we saw the photo after.




Play until 1am and took Awana cable car back to Apartment. Guys are charm, because the apartment has only one bathroom. Have to pretend gentleman, give the queue to girls. I only able to take bath at 330am... What a suffering waiting night....Next time have to make sure the apartment has two bathroom if going in a group of people. After that ZzzzzZzZZzzzz....

Effective Yahoo Status

First thing to mention in this blog is THANK YOU ALL MATES! For the last 2 weeks, i have been suffering with a room that has 32 degree celcius in temperature!!! AirCond spoilt and no one come to repair it, within this 14 days, i passed thru day by day with the Fan. Oh.. really thank you to the Fan but i think will keep it aside starting tomorrow. Hehe.. it is because Stone get us two new airconds HURRAY~! Well, back to this, i would like to thank all the colleagues too, they help me to put yahoo status in order to get Stone alert on this matter SERIOUSLY~ ! :P Haha... This is the scene, nice right..?





Hehe.. I like the feeling at that time so much. The satisfaction and the teamwork feeling you got in this company is not obtainable before. Even a malay staff without understand what is the meaning of "Hou Sam" also give hand, this is great~! Haha... After getting everyone with the status, i message Stone ask ask him to read that. Hehe... the response from him is funny :P However, at least this teamwork reflect the result, today after come back from client side, the aircond is there! Huhu~ :D


Counting down, two more days to go Genting Highlands! Yeah~ Finally, Mrs. Lee (boss's mother) able to get us a condo type at Awana eventhough it is fully booked. This is a good news! Hehe... at least can enjoy with the environment there! Hmm... expecting the day comes faster :P \(^_^)/


Having lunch with client today also, we were talking about the Malaysian and US culture on English learning. Yeah, for a Malaysian to learn proper and good English, i believe except in the School, friends influence takes a big place on this. I wish i could have an environment where i am force to communicate in English. Well, this can help me alot, i need a good control in English for handling and managing the client/customer well and confident! By the way, i just heard that Cat is praised by her Lecturer on her public speaking skill after the presentation. Wow, i am proud of you, Cat! I never have this praise before because i am weak on that. Hmm.... gonna ask Cat to be my Coach to train me up! Haha... Well.. what is your comment on "What is the best way to learn fluent English in a short period of time?".

Company Trip v2

Hehe, why title it with version 2? :P A good plan will not end up with one time decision, again today we have another yahoo conference to confirm the trip. Nope, should be twice of the yahoo conference before and after lunch. Guess what, problem of multiple decision and multiple point of view. This is tedious right? Some of them prefer Awana, some of them prefer hotel on top of the hill, some of them give no suggestion but complaining. Well, i wonder since this is fully sponsor by the company, why act choosy? Cant just be simple, someone decide and we just go ahead?! However, i am the one act as cleaner to get the floor clean at last. Check out a few websites and decided going for Resort Hotel coz Awana is fully booked. :P Awana is preferable because the decoration of that room looks comfortable and prettier than others (I mean Three-Rooms Condo). Anyway, the final comfirmation is:


Venue: Genting HighlandsDate: 09.10.2004 (Saturday morning)
Transport: 2 cars
Rooms: Resort Hotel (3 superior rooms)
Person Going: 11

Passing the working hours full with stressful, need to settle displaytag problem in the morning, handle KAT integration, company trips, MTPush, etc... Moreover, the aircond is still not being fixed yet, almost wanted to tell Roy, "I want to go back now"! After a long period of verification done with MayBank2U, at last able to get the integration verified and completed! Hurray, the feeling just cant be explained in a simple word nor a sentense. The feeling of achievement is great especially has been suffered for the whole afternoon! Thanks God !!


There is another thing to point out here. What do you think if your boss ask you to take over his place/position? When you are just in this company for 4 months and this situation arise. Hmm.. tell you what i think in the next blog. (^_^) Comment to me if you hav your own thought, you are welcome for it!

Company Trip

A plan to Genting Highlands on the coming weekend. Well, the initial plan is to sing at Redbox but since not much people like to sing, plan changed and end up with Genting. The company trip i mean here is fully sponsor by my company. Yeah, give a Credit to it first! :) Hehe.. if you go through the yahoo conference i called today, perhaps you will have a clearer view why always a meeting is conducted with a few relevant employees. This is really a mess when you have more people discussion on a simple decision. Wasting time, wasting energy to type :P After all, conference closed and decision push back to me, i am going to pengsan dy. The general conclusion is,

Venue: Genting Highlands
Date: 09.10.2004 (Saturday morning)
Transport: Terminal Putra -> Genting Bus -> Skyway -> Legs
Rooms: First World 4 Standard/Superior rooms

Person Going: 8 + 3 undertermine-minded

Hopefully this gonna be the good trip since after start working, facing computer all the time. Perhaps with this trip, i could release all the work pressure :D When i am browsing the eGenting website, i notice they organize the eGenting Programming Competition for year 2004. Hmm... considering should i give a hit on it? Recently is busying with the gateway migration, afraid pressure up myself. What an undetermine mind of Stephen nowadays... Malaysian is getting hot with blogging, what about you? (^_^)

Finally able to meet with Huey Ling, first meeting after knowing each other for so long. Haha.. Pecah my record book dy :P Nice to meet you!
